The figures in the central panel are very similar to those depicted in a window designed in 1902 by Ernest Archibald Taylor (1874 -1951), who trained at the Glasgow School of Art, for the industrialist William Weir entitled ‘Gather Ye the Rosebuds’. His panel is illustrated in the book Scotland’s Stained Glass by Michael Donnelly, image below.The title is probably a reference to the poem by Robert Herrick (1591-1674).
‘Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.’
It points to spring time with a warning and an awareness of the swift passing of time and the inevitable loss of youth and beauty.
